@biggrumpy You greedy bastard, you gotta share with the whole class.

@Nyx Links to any such examples of M/m dystopias?

@littlest-lily So good to see these two again! Too bad you had to make it so bleak for them.

Every Halloween I’m reminded I would be much better at applying makeup if I had regular practice. If I were Aiden’s age again I’d definitely play around with wearing it in public, especially if I had someone in my pocket for touch-ups.

Even after four months, voice modulation is still an issue for Aiden. He needs some non-threatening ways to express emotions.

@mrgoblinging7 I always fail the marshmallow test.

@Deedee There’s a long way to go in helping straight men develop better physical self-images, but a necessary step is embracing the (straight) female gaze in every element of society, including fetish porn.

@littlest-lily I really can’t wait to hear Evie’s inner thoughts about all of this.

At some point every kinkster has had an internal dialogue, rehearsing how to explain their kink to someone whose opinion matters to them. Sometimes they actually get to present their kink the way they like, but more often some unanticipated event brings it up and they have to improvise. Of course, even if Aiden had planned to introduce the topic to Evie, the whole thing was derailed by his half-conscious womanhandling. Letting her ask questions and limiting his answers to just those questions (as opposed to trying to compose some Unified Size Kink Theory) seems the safest tactic.

I repeat my devout hope that no one suggests to Evie that she should “just look it up on the Internet.”

@smolchlo We’re gonna use you as bait.

@blehb When you’ve got subjects of vastly different sizes, it’s often difficult to get all of the Biggo in frame. Nonetheless, I am typically less compelled by a Size image where I can’t see the Biggo’s expression.

In a non-Size context, I have no use for headless or faceless porn images. Not interested in the slightest.

@littlest-lily A needed breather. I like the frustrated bird imagery to set the tone.

forbidden-conversation territory

I suspect Evie won’t be able to avoid this territory for very much longer. Moira might be better equipped to help her unpack it, though I’m sure Aiden would love an opportunity to demonstrate sympathy and compassion.

I just realized that any world that includes common size-changing is going to need therapists who specialize in that sort of trauma, particularly if the size-change is involuntary. Also, differently-sized therapists would have their own unique advantages and disadvantages.

“That’s not reserved for a certain someone?”

Yeah, Moira ships 'em.

@mrgoblinging7 In my pocket, thanks.

@SmolChlo It occurs to me that I’ve never written any protracted M/f content, gentle or violent. Hmm…

@littlest-lily If she had to do it herself, it must have taken Evie a while to compile her deck.

Moira saw everything but she played it straight like the good wingman she is.

@sloppy_amy I can just imagine them cramped together in that box for days, waiting to be delivered, and then as the recipient is getting ready to open it, they all huddle together for the big presentation. “Big smile, big spirit, big opportunity!”

I’m going to make a generalization and say that looking at an image of a random person or celebrity and deciding to incorporate that image into a personal sexual fantasy is a form of entitlement that anyone can indulge in but is massively encouraged by the male gaze. Men in our society have no problem speculatively placing anyone and anything into a sexual context, and this extends to discussion prompts like “Wouldn’t [X} make an awesome giantess?” and the thousands of sizey photoshops we’ve seen since the dawn of the Internet. I’m not saying this always wrong, exactly, but it’s an artifact of our sexist culture and we shouldn’t be surprised when women are less likely to engage in it.

The whole issue of photoshopping people without their consent (or legal permission to use the photos) is complicated because, to be blunt, Size Fantasy as a genre might not have become as popular as it is today without it. Today we have hundreds and hundreds of Size artists, writers, render artists, models, actors, and other creative people producing specifically with a Size fetish audience in mind. Thirty years ago we, uh, didn’t. Individual fetishists were creating for themselves, but they probably would never have started sharing their creations if they didn’t think there was an audience for it. In the 90s, simple photoshops of celebrities enlarged to 500-feet-tall were thrillingly easy to make and circulate, rapidly demonstrating that an audience for Size Fantasy did in fact exist. These days I don’t look twice at most Size photo collages, because tailored Size illustrations and renders exist in plenty. We also have models and actors who are intentionally posing to be 'shopped into Size collages, and those always make me smile. We now have the luxury of disregarding celebrity photo collages and pirated porn.

It’s kinda similar to how I’m not interested in fanfiction either and would much rather read original content involving size.

So here is where I admit that my autism is something of a hindrance to enjoying Size content. When I first started browsing Size Tumblr, I was flummoxed by all the characters from anime and videogames being shoehorned into size scenarios. Did these shows or games have regular Size themes? Some basic research indicated that no, they were from all manner of genres and didn’t particularly lend themselves to the scifi or supernatural genres where growth and shrinking were possible. It took me probably longer than necessary to realize that the artists and 3D modelers were using established characters from known fandoms because that’s all they had to work with. The fact that their giantess waifu was from a show where no one ever grew or shrank wasn’t an obstacle for them, but it was a constant frustration to me.

For me, the goal was to enjoy size differential itself, not imagine how established characters would appear and respond to a mixed-size juxtaposition. The backstories of these characters was a distraction at best and often spoiled the whole illusion. If they were from a genre where a Size encounter made sense, fantasy magic or superheroes, say, it was easier to accept. Giant Mulder or Shrunken Scully, sure. The Tiny Housewives of Beverly Hills, not so much.

So, yes, please, create original characters and settings for your Size scenarios. Put a little work into how they got that way. Take pity on the literal-minded.

@littlest-lily You had me at “covered in butter.”
